COBB.

The sale at Mrs. Pritchett'S last
Wednesday, was well attended, and on
most things sold bidding was quite
spirited. Hon. Richard Kennedy pro-
cured a fine matched team of geldings
that were a bargain.
We are pleased to note that j. n.
Lemen, who fell ON the ice breaking
his arm some time since, is improving
nicely.
Hay sells ready for ten or twelve
dollars per ton and scarce at that.
At Mrs. Pritchett's sale Wednesday,
straw sold for about seven dollars per
ton.
On Saturday morning the face of
Daniel thinner which always bears a
good natured expression told in
language stronger than words that
something uncommon had occurred,
and upon questioning him we were in
formed that it was boy. If the
happy father succeeds in impress
ing him with his convictions,
there is no question about him being
democrat.
Mrs. Dolphin is quite sick, but under
the skillful treatment of DIR. Zeigler
we hope to chronicle her speedy recov-
cry.
Miss Laura Spratler of Mineral
Point, is visiting with her friend
Amelia Lemen.
Reuben Ellsworth returned from
Boston Friday evening. He says B.
is quite nice city, and he is favorably
impressed with her people, but after
all Cobb is good enough for him and
our streets are not so narrow as are
those of Boston.
Our teacher leaving the village Sat
urday and wishing to celebrate Wash
ington's birthday before beginning
school again, celebrated the 21st, and
taught on the 22d. Some of the
young folks visited neighboring
schools on Monday.
Those who attended the entertain
ment at Highland, Saturday evening,
from here, feel well paid for their trip.
Highlands entertainments are always
first class and those who attend them
with the expectation of hearing some
thing good are seldom disappointed.
Rev. Swartz breaches at. 2:30 next
Sunday afternoon.
Rumor has it that party from
Highland is soon to open a branch
hardware store here.
Geo. Wilson and family, of Miffilin,
spent Sunday in Cobb
John Lee, representative of the Lin
den Insurance Co., was in this vicinity
the past week, writing up some policies.
Chris. Fritch and j. Bailey left on
Tuesday, with car load of horses, for
Plainview, Nebraska.
Miss Nellie Burgoyne, of Mineral
Point, is enjoying for a week the hos
pitality found in the pleasant home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Cunningham.
Rev. Swartz and Mr.. Harvey went to
Galena, Monday morning, returning
Tuesday.
Henry Cunningham, who has been
back from Nebraska, visiting his pa
rents and many friends, returned on
Thursday, taking car load of horses,
machinery, ETC., with him.
ALT. Cunningham has of late been
the subject of misfortune. A short
time ago one of his cows was killed by
straw stack falling on her; and since
that time two more have sickened and
died.
Last Friday evening the palatial
home of Mr.. and Mrs. /. c. Comfort
was thrown open to between fifty and
sixty invited friends for reception,
which was pronounced by all who at
tended as being one of the most brill
liant and pleasant affairs ever held in
Cobb. Mr.. and Mrs Comforts ability
to entertain, of which too much cannot
be said, was fully demonstrated Friday
evening The supper consisted of all
the good things Of the land, to which
all did ample justice Games and mu-
sic were INDUCED in until the late houl
reminded us that We must say Good
night, and leave the scenes OF festivity
